1279993 2012-06-06 06:46:00 Have been browsing pricespy and looking at the online stores - the mainstream ones like ezi shopping. What are the good one and what are the ones to stay away from? Nick G (16709)
1279994 2012-06-06 08:11:00 For customer service and swift delivery often next day Ascent or computer lounge. One thing you will find on pricespy is that often the shops with low prices don't actually have any stock.

I only use the two I mentioned above now as they are streets ahead of the competition

1279995 2012-06-06 09:08:00 Playtech, Ascent, Paradigm PCs, Computer Lounge are all pretty good. Prices vary. PB Tech and eInfo are good if you can go into the store, but I've had less-than-stellar web experiences. inphinity (7274)
1279996 2012-06-06 10:07:00 I'm looking for something that is not just computers. Nick G (16709)
1279997 2012-06-06 10:25:00 That really narrows it down... inphinity (7274)

1279999 2012-06-06 11:00:00 Never thought Id say it but DSE are proving better and better over time, at least a couple of the chch stores that I use often. Although their website is stupid if you want delivery as most of it seems to come from Auckland, even if it's in the store. hueybot3000 (3646)

Yes I thought that clarified things too.

1280002 2012-06-06 22:09:00 Quite surprising really, to ask about online stores on a PC World forum and to get answers relating to PC parts.

Personally I gave up on pricespy, I find it akward to navigate to an actual store only to find out as Gary67 said that they don't actually have the item.
Now I google NZ suppliers when I'm looking for things and try and compare as many sites as I can. I'd probably ask for an opinion somewhere like here as well if I was spending a large amount of money at a new supplier.
